Had my own "Fanatics Experience" today. Bought my brother a Seider jersey for Christmas. Opened it up to wrap it:

Wing fans will complain about anything.

Already told him lol.

Story gets worse. When I contacted them to exchange, they have no large jerseys in Seider, Larkin, or Raymond. So essentially shit out of luck on Christmas.

They did give a 50% off coupon for up to $250. Too bad the Seider reverse retro autographed jersey was $265.

He may have to settle for an "NVECHKIO" jersey...

im talking jerseys, the professional on ice ones, since thats the majority of my collection. The piping on RBK edges do suck but the jerseys are super comfy, stretchy and feel really nice to wear. As far as im concerned all replica jerseys suck.

Edge 1.0 jerseys are the most comfortable jerseys ever made.

I regret getting rid of my Sens home jersey because of it, and I don't even like the design.

Premiers were terrible. I would consider the Indo Adidas jerseys to be replicas by definition since the build+materials are not the same and "replicate" authentic jerseys. The quality is fine on them at the right price point. The late era CCM Canadian replicas were also very solid just before the moved them to Indonesia.

If they let you keep the jersey for free, this is a reasonably easy fix with a seam ripper since it is only two letters.

 

[the valiant effort]

C'mon man, Reides has been my favourite Wed Rings player for years!

Miscustomizations happen with every jersey maker. Let's not act as if this is a fanatics exclusive thing.

This is great news. My dyslexic cousin recently got a job working for them. Maybe I can get a discount

Girlfriend ordered a Michigan hoodie for her step Dad and two weeks into the order was notified that it would no longer be in by Christmas. When she cancelled the order they tried docking $16 from her refund for a cancellation fee.

So that's two shit stories just for me in a matter of weeks regarding Fanatics.

You can make mistakes and still be a good company. It doesn't seem they are, which is why people immediately groaned when the NHL signed this deal.

At least they got the number right!!

Seriously though, that’s f***ing awful.

Fanatics are such a joke.

Hopefully you can get your $$ back

There is always that one white knight in every thread being an absolute simp for a garbage corporation.

Oh boy…everybody knows Reides wears #35…

8 out of 10 t-shirts or polo I’ve purchased from Fanatics has been rubbish. Sleeves too short, logo crooked, over-sized overall, baggy in weird places. Thankfully, all of my Stanley Cup stuff has been good, but they’ve been so bad, my wife recognizes it and won’t get any of us anything clothing from the NHL until the deal is over.

I’ve seen better stuff from knock off companies.

I'm not defending them.

I never appreciated how good we had it with Koho and CCM back in the day.

To their credit, thank goodness the same manufacturer from all these years is still making the on-ice jerseys. They look fine as years past. Thankfully they didn't abominate them the way they did the MLB jerseys.

Their fan apparel remains awful though. I have ordered two similar items in the same size and there is absolutely no consistency in their products.

 

[MoneyManny]

Why are people still buying junk from them? I'd rather have no jersey than subsidize this "official" product with knock off quality at premium prices.

I can hear the CEO cackle in my head for each transaction made. That kind of consumer disrespect is embarassing.

Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin looks to sell $1B in company stock as revenue stalls: report

Fanatics’ revenue for 2024 is expected to hit $6 billion — 14% less than $7 billion in revenue that it generated last year, according to a report.

Looks like they already took care of the "reverse" part.

Honestly though, what a trainreck of a company. How could they botch things so consistently.
